Uhm, why am I awake again?!?! Oh my gosh I’m tired beyond belief… I’m not really sure what God wants for me this week. I’m not really fired up yet. I mean last year at Y.A. I was so excited. I guess it’s just been a long year. I don’t really get excited about anything anymore. If this will help me learn and grow and be inspired I guess I’ll just have to be strong for myself and those around me. It might get even worse. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll come to peace with it. This is nothing like I expected.
At evening service nothing really happened. Although Dee had a good one I think. He hugged me and we were both bawling our eyes out. It was nice. He told me we are together for a reason and I agreed. I love him so much. Right now, I really think we’re gonna get married.

Over the coming months, I'll be publishing several journal entries a day in chronological order. I began journaling in 2007, when I was eleven years old. Even then I wrote as though I were archiving my life, collecting details about my world. As I grew older, journaling became more of a description of my emotional world.
I am an aspiring creative nonfiction writer who is producing very little since graduating college this Spring. But with this unusually thorough account of my entire adolescence, I feel as though I have been given a gift that has been under my nose this whole time.
This is a practice in forgiveness and vulnerability. It is also a way to laugh at myself.
